 Machu Picchu, Cuzco & Lima
6 Nights from only $1599
Begin your South America explorations with a visit to the legendary Inca and Spanish Colonial cities of Peru — and you’ll add a fourth country to your trip in the process! You’ll enjoy a scenic train ride to Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Then stay overnight in a hotel near the famed archeological site — so you can explore in the quiet afternoon hours after the “day trippers” depart. You’ll also visit Peru’s capital cities of yesterday and today: Cuzco — former capital of the Inca Empire and later a Spanish colonial stronghold — and Lima, the modern capital once known as the “City of Kings.”

- 3 flights within South America
